Buyers rush to Buttercup Meadow

Julie and Geoff Coombes are one of four local couples to take advantage of the part home exchange option available at Buttercup Meadow, Barratt Homes’ delightful new development at Radstock in Somerset.

Julie, a financial adviser, and Geoff, a security guard, (pictured with children David and Emma) opted for the top of the range Radleigh four-bedroom house. Thanks to their recommendations Julie’s brother, Christian Barnard, subsequently purchased a three-bedroom Essex house on site.

“Our part exchange option really has been a success,” said Barratt Homes sales director Louise Ware. “We are offering up to 97 per cent of the original home value and, on some selected plots, we can offer 100 per cent of original value.”

Launched in March, the Buttercup Meadow development enjoys a beautiful countryside setting in the rural hamlet of Radstock. There’s plenty to do – including pubs, restaurants, parks and a leisure centre – as well as two good secondary schools, Writhlington School and Norton Hill School.

The development is only 10 miles from Bath City Centre, which offers a wealth of cultural and retail delights. There are good road and bus links to other nearby cities and Bristol International Airport is only 13 miles away.

Buttercup Meadow provides a selection of two, three and four-bedroom homes although, thanks to the high demand, all two-bedroom homes have now been sold.

Current availability includes the two detached show homes – the four-bedroom Radleigh (price £302,995) and the Thornton (price £267,995) – both of which feature a separate dining room, study, lounge with fireplace and garage.

Two three-bedroom homes from the semi-detached and terraced collection are also still available. These are the Essex model, priced at £208,995, and the Enford, with an asking price of £214,995.
